Excel macro executing memorixed code; not including the edits I just added

Wondering if anyone has ever experienced something where you've edited code and debugging over and over, discovering your edited code isn't included in the execution; instead, a previous interpretation of written code is being executed from memory (doesn't contain the alterations you've just made). It's really strange; when I 've witnessed this happening, I've tried inserting a msgbox at the beginning of the subroutine I'm trying to debug, just so I can see if I'm working on the right routine and have found that even adding a msgbox popup, isn't even firing when I execute the routine again; It's almost like the vbe editior hasn't detected my alterations to code and is running code from memory rather than recompiling what I've just edited. This doesn't happen frequently, but really annoying when it does. The work around is to just continue writing-fixing other procedures and eventually it refreshes what it's executing later on. Anybody else having this; any workarounds or ways to force vbe to re-compile what what I've written? office 365 business fully updated; have had this crop up at least 30x over 2years.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
I can only think this might happen for a file saved to the "cloud" like onedrive.
Or maybe you have two sessions or multiple versions of the VBA.... I've done that when moving a VBA bit to a Template, then edited the one in my Personal and not the Template version.
